This book extolls the feat of Magellan and his fleet of five sailing ships in the early 1500s, circumnavigating the entire earth. Though Magellan died in the Philippines, one of his five ships did succeed in traveling around the globe and back to Spain, finally returning with a cargo load of the highly sought precious Asian spices.
It was an incredibly difficult journey, meticulously planned by Magellan. He knew it would be very difficult, and he therefore drove his crew and the other captains with discipline and iron will, without which it would have failed. But more than anything, this book shows the incredible birth of capitalism from the drive of innumerable people, a bubbling over of the desire to explore and conquer.
This film is a tragic portrayal of the conflict between Susan, an older white woman who lived alone, and her black neighbors, primarily Ajike Owens, known as AJ, and their children. Susan, or as the neighbors called her, “Karen,” would call the police twice a week to complain about the children playing outdoors and the noise they made. The film is put together from the footage from the police’s body cameras. You see the tension rising over the months, and eventually it escalates to the older woman waving a gun at the children. And then the fatal night.
The film shows how nothing in this society addresses or attempts to solve the racism against black people, or the rising mental illness and anger of the increasing number of isolated individuals.
